CBS 2 HD has learned of more alleged back-door dealings and political power peddling by Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel.

The reigning member of Congress' top tax committee is apparently "wrangling" other politicos to get him out of his own financial and tax troubles.

Here's a look at Charlie's so-called "angels" involved in his ethics investigation.

Congressman Rangel has been arrogant in refusing to discuss how, as the man who writes this country's tax laws, he failed to report over $1 million in outside income and $3 million in business transactions as required by the House, lapses under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.

"I recognize that all of you have an obligation to ask questions knowing that there's none of you smart enough to frame it in such a way that I'm going to respond," Rangel said.

Poor Charlie Rangel. He obviously has water on the brain. Do I hear any volunteers to drain... everything possible?

I've become numb to Democrat corruption.

They ALWAYS get off. There isn't enough honor and integrity left in the system to attach consequences to their actions any more.

Democrats are outside the law, and a majority of voters either agree or don't care.

If he hangs on the liberal media will find another Republic thesis thats more important. This will blow over fast, usually does for the Dems.

To ALL: I visited Rangel’s website.

Here’s his DC mailing address, and a postcard gets there a lot faster than an enveloped letter...

Chuck Rangel
2354 Rayburn HOB
Washington,DC 20515

Phone (202)225-4365
FAX (202)225-0816

Additionally, he has a poll at the bottom right on his homepage. It asks if you think humans can change the climate. At this time, the score is only 7 points ahead for those of us who know puny humans cannot change the climate.
FREEP THAT POLL please.
